    Tragus piercing
    This is my second time having my tragus' pierced. The first time I had to take them out because of (what I believed to be) an allergic reaction. I've had them done now for almost a month... they no longer hurt but on my right ear I have (what I believe to be) a keloid. Its very small and I've read a lot about keloids and it says they are usually itchy, which mine isn't. So I guess my question is if I should keep my piercing until the "keloid" grows or talk to a dermatologist now ?:confused:

    What leads you to believe it is a keloid? Can you describe the bump, and also exactly what your piercing is doing (pain, discharge, etc.). :)

    I'm kind of a self diagnosed hypochondriac... but there isn't any pain or swelling or anything of the sort. But I think it's a keloid because only in the are of the alleged keloid is there a dark, small, kind of raised bump.

    How have you been taking care of the piercing? For example, what do you clean it with, how often... things like that. There are a couple of reasons you can have a bump on your piercing.
